CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) captures charge-sign dependent cosmic ray modulation
The movement of cosmic ray particles across space, such as electrons and protons, is influenced by the sun's magnetic field, causing fluctuations in the intensity of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) reaching Earth in response to the solar cycle. During pe.....»»
Team develops magnetic microrobots with folate to promote targeted drug delivery to cancer cells
The limited ability of microrobots to assist drugs in entering cells hinders their therapeutic efficacy. To address this, a research team, reporting in Cyborg and Bionic Systems, has introduced the cancer-targeting molecule folic acid (FA) to microro.....»»
Carbon-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials: Their classification and application
Carbon-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials are gaining much attention due to their versatility, including disease diagnosis and treatment. They work under endogenous (pH, temperature, enzyme, and redox) or exogenous (temperature, light, magnetic f.....»»
Examining domain walls in magnetic nanowires
Magnetic domains walls are known to be a source of electrical resistance due to the difficulty for transport electron spins to follow their magnetic texture. This phenomenon holds potential for utilization in spintronic devices, where the electrical.....»»
Tiny magnetic tracking and sensing device uses magneto-mechanical resonators
A group of bio-engineers at Philips Research has developed a tiny magnetic tracking and sensing device that uses magneto-mechanical resonators to provide feedback. In their study, reported in the journal Science, Bernhard Gleich, Ingo Schmale, Tim Ni.....»»
Supercomputer simulations provide a better picture of the sun"s magnetic field
The sun's strong, dynamic magnetic field can catapult huge jets of plasma known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) out into the solar system. Sometimes these hit Earth, where they can knock out power grids and damage satellites......»»
